IP Lookup
Look up your current public IP address with geolocation, ISP, ASN and timezone.
How to use the IP Lookup
Find out what the public internet can see about your connection. This tool queries three independent services in parallel — ipwho.is, ipinfo.io, and a chained httpbin.org + ipapi.co lookup — and shows them side by side so you can compare how each IP database sees you.
- 01Open the page — three IP databases are queried in parallel. The list at the top deduplicates the addresses they returned and labels each as IPv4 or IPv6.
- 02Compare the rows across the three source cards. They usually agree on country and city, but coordinates, ISP name and ASN can differ because each service maintains its own database.
- 03Use refresh all after toggling a VPN or proxy to re-fetch from every source. Use copy next to either address to grab it.
tips
- —A browser cannot learn its own public IP on its own — it only sees the private LAN address (e.g.
192.168.x.x). So every source here has to ask a remote service which IP it sees. - —The httpbin + ipapi.co source does two hops on purpose: httpbin returns the IP, then ipapi.co looks it up by address. Hitting the
/{ip}/json/endpoint instead of/json/avoids the per-visitor-IP rate limit on the "what is my IP" endpoint. - —IP geolocation is approximate — it points to the ISP or data centre that owns the IP block, not to a physical address. Mobile carriers, VPNs and corporate networks can all make the location look wrong.
- —If the country shown is not your real one, suspect a VPN, proxy or a carrier that tunnels traffic through a central exit point.
- —Free IP databases cap at city-level precision (~10 km). District or street-level data needs a commercial IP database, which is why all three free sources will agree on the city but show slightly different coordinates.
frequently asked
What is a public IP address?+
A public IP is the address your network presents to the wider internet. It is assigned by your internet service provider (ISP) and shared by every device on your local network through NAT. Websites see this address when you connect, not your private 192.168.x.x address.
Why does this tool need to call external APIs?+
A browser running JavaScript cannot discover its own public IP on its own — it only sees the private LAN address. To show your public IP, the page must ask a remote server what address it sees you connecting from.
Why are three different services queried at once?+
Each IP database (ipwho.is, ipinfo.io, ipapi.co) is maintained independently and disagrees slightly on city-level coordinates, ISP naming and ASN attribution. Showing all three side by side makes the variance transparent and lets you spot outliers instead of trusting a single black-box answer.
Why does one source use httpbin.org before ipapi.co?+
ipapi.co rate-limits the "what is my IP" endpoint (/json) per visitor IP. To dodge that limit, the tool first asks httpbin.org for the public IP, then looks up that specific IP at ipapi.co/{ip}/json/, which has separate, looser limits.
Why do I only see one of IPv4 / IPv6?+
Each source returns the address your browser used to reach it. Modern browsers run "Happy Eyeballs" and pick whichever protocol completes the TCP handshake first (usually IPv6 on a dual-stack network), so all three sources can come back over the same protocol and you only see one address. The list at the top shows every unique address observed across the three sources — if you only see IPv6 here, your browser is currently preferring IPv6; to see your IPv4 address, disable IPv6 in your OS or browser, or visit from a different network.
Why do the coordinates differ between sources for the same IP?+
Each database places the IP at a different reference point — usually the city centroid, the ISP’s registered address, or the data centre that owns the IP block. The spread is typically a few kilometres. None of them pinpoint a physical address.
Is the location accurate?+
IP geolocation is approximate — correct to city level in most cases, but never street-level. Mobile carriers, VPNs, corporate networks and Tor can all make the location look completely wrong. For street-level precision you would need a commercial IP database such as IP数据云 or ipip.net.
Why am I seeing a different country than where I really am?+
Most often you are on a VPN or a proxy that routes traffic through another region. Mobile carriers and large ISPs can also tunnel traffic through centralised exit points far from your actual location.
Is this tool free?+
Yes. All three sources offer free HTTPS endpoints without an API key for low-volume interactive use. No account is needed.
